I would have to see it in person to comment but it does look a bit bland in photo. Give it a few weeks and it will probably get graffitied.

I have to say that I never understood why public "works of art" are commissioned. Who decides that tax/ratepayers money should be spent without purpose. Surely every expenditure should either be on service provision or have a ROI.

That aside, at least Wigan knew what to do with a former colliery site. turn it into a racetrack. Typical of St Helens, simply dreaming (get it) instead of doing.

It is always going to be subjective, but in principle I think it is a 'good thing.' They improve the environment, get people talking, some people visit so may do something for the local economy.

Been there a few times and I like it. It would be better if they removed the trees so you could see the whole head instead of just the top from the M62

Yes, yes it does look like a bell end when you're going past on the motorway. Do you think it was intentional? Funny as owt

So THAT'S what it is... I've been wondering about that for AGES!

are they really trying to claim that they wanted it built like that?

Someone has supplied the wrong dimensions I reckon.. Should be 1:1 heigh to width but it's come out at 3:1 or more!

If it wasn't i'd be laying off the pies
